window shopping

yep! i only buy from Shopbop when i can't get it somewhere else. the fees are insane. the shipping is nuts, plus the ups brokerage fees when the stuff arrives. revolve is the way to go (no shipping, no fees)! active endeavours also has free shipping to canada now, but they also ship with ups and you pay brokerage fees.

Yeah, I've ordered from shopbop many a time, and always have had to pay duties/brokerage fees. It is annoying, but I do love shopbop, their service is great. My order always arrives very quickly, unlike some other online stores.

H is for HOCKEY

YES! UPS has THE MOST OUTRAGES brokerage fees out of all the carriers!!! I paid as much in duties as I did in their fees!:censor: If you can help it, send it to some one you know in US and have them mail it to you as a gift! Avoid using UPS across the border! THEY ARE THE BIGGEST RIP OFF EVER!!!

ITA! They're even worse than FedEx. We ordered some of our leftover wedding flatware pattern from the US since it's hard to find in Canada, and unfortunately the company only used UPS. Anyway, it was a totally PITA - the brokerage and duties were around $500. We were really pissed b/c we could have gotten another 6 settings for the price of the fees.
